[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
Ive been having some issues pop up with my phone in the last few weeks. Sorry but be prepared for a lengthy post haha.

It all started in Dec with the OTA of JB. After than my Maps/Nav constantly force close. I am not the only one with this issue because looking at recent reviews of Maps in the Play store, a lot of GS3 users are experiencing it too.

I made this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115108 to try and see if there was a fix. Never solved the problem.

My friend was running the latest AOKP Milestone ROM and said his Maps/Nav worked fine. So I rooted, bootloader, recovery and flashed AOKP Milestone. Well Maps/Nav still didnt work. Found out my friend never installed the official OTA to JB and went from ICS to AOKP. So it only lead me further to believe that it was something with the update.

Figured I would wait it out till there was a fix, until I started having another issue. I use Handcent as my primary SMS app. All of the sudden one day my notification ringtone stops working. Was working fine then poof doesnt work. Tried redoing all the settings and got nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled nothing. Cleared cache, uninstall/reinstall nothing.

So now with this problem persisting for a few days I got sick of it. Thought I should be able to flash an MD5 thru Odin back to ICS, get Maps/Nav working (along with txt tones) and then flash to AOKP. First I flashed I535VRALF2 and Maps/Nav worked fine, flashed AOKP and didnt work. So today I flashed I535VRALG1 and again Maps/Nav/Txt worked fine. Flashed back to AOKP and Maps/Nav didnt work, BUT txt tones did (for a while). Driving from home to work (15mins) somehow my txt tones stopped working again!

Between each flash I would factory reset/wipe cache/dav data ect. Not sure why these problems are being so persistent. Even on the last time back to ICS, I wiped everything in CWM and booted the phone AND did a factory reset from within the phone settings.

Anyone have any ideas? Did accepting the JB OTA just perma F me on Maps/Nav?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
No ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I don't run aokp but found this in the faq on rootz: "Fix permissions in CWMR.Uninstall maps updates/clear cache and data."

No idea if it will help but it won't hurt to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
Ya I tried that already and it didnt work :(

And Ive also tried running older versions of Maps as well with no results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NZitney:
Try doing a superwipe. Completely erases internal memory. I know some roms have the option, specifically synergy to my knowledge. It is also available as a zip. Just make sure everything on internal you want to save it backed up to external or a computer. A fresh wipe can do wonders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
I did (I think haha). I installed a fresh MD5 thru Odin, then once my phone booted, I used the internal factory reset option to completely wipe the internal storage. Or is that not the same thing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NZitney:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2121347

Try running the mega wipe zip with the Rom on external sd. If you are restoring

Apps, do so without data first to see if everything works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
Will it work on the GS3? That thread is for the Note2

And im running the latest touch CWM and that thread is a bit confusing, it says:

It says you have to have TWRP recovery but then says boot into CWM, so not sure what to think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
any more ideas?

Something about the camera lens?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rest0ck:
Yeah I do hear these noises too. It either the auto focus or something about the sim card slot I guess.
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Big fan of the Skydragon ROM. :good:

The issues Im having are after the 1.1 update :(

I applied the update to fix (primarily) the gallery issue (as without it you cant view images in MMS messages)

The issue appears to be access to the SD card once the update has been applied (as well as the already acknowledged Gmail crash)

Both gallery and music are unable to access the external SD card, yet ES file explorer can.

I've tried to 'fix permissions' , and it seems to fix it temporarily, but after a reboot the issue returns.

Hope MaartenXDA can reproduce the issue and its an easy fix!

Cheers for the hard work..its really appreciated!
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
Okay, thanks for the report.

The fixing permissions should fix it even trough reboots. (In theory). But apparently it doesn't.

If you fix the permissions again, is the issue solved?

Sent from my awesome fridge
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
Send them and OTA with an init.d script to fix permissions in /system/etc/init.d. That should work...
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
Thanks. I've already been testing a set permissions script and it seems to work.

But @OP, is the issue solved after you set permissions?
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Maarten..sorry for the late reply.

Im just doing a NAND backup and I`ll let you know in a little while. Ive just re-downloaded the OTA just in case something has changed/corrupted etc.

Cheers
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Maarten,

unfortunately fix permissions isn't retained after a reboot.

on the plus side, when you do fix permissions, all issues I'm having, gmail, gallery and music are fixed.

cheers
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
Thanks, that's what I needed.

For now I'll just add an init.d script that will fix the permissions on boot. After that I'll look at the problem, it's possible the installation doesn't set the right permissions.

Sent from my awesome fridge
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
One suggestion, there are probably some problems inside updater-script, cause permissions are set while flashing. So I think it would be much better to recheck the updater-script than to build scripts to run on boot.
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
I know, that was my plan. But to keep the users happy while I'm checking the installation, I'll give them a fix first.
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Thanks for looking at this. Speaking for myself, its no big thing having to manually set permissions when my phone reboots. Unless I'm flashing ROMs, it rarely reboots. If a permanent fix is simpler then perhaps just post the work-around on the ROM thread until it gets included in the next update.

If the init.d script is easy to apply, then I guess its a good way to as you say "keep the users happy ". We are quite a demanding lot aren't we ;)

Top work...keep it up! Lots of ppl are liking this ROM.

cheers
[HTC Desire X] chocyman:
Just applied the 1.2 update and although I can see there's a temp init.d fix, it hasn't worked on my DX.:(

Same as before, reboot in twrp, fix permissions and app good.

Haven't had a chance to check the other additions. So can't comment on those.

cheers

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was an option or method to having everything that is installed on my phone be installed to the external sd card? My internal fills up too quick. Thanks in advance!
[Blade General] Amirthanand:
Hey..Guys..

I rooted my Dell XCD 35 (ZTE Blade) and updated my ROM to Cyanogen mod 10.1..

Now the thing is even if i login to Google play with a new id and password..It still identifies my phone as ZTE Blade and is not allowing me to install the apps that needs Jelly Bean OS.

Thanks In Advance,

Amirth
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
1. Obviously it'll identify as ZTE Blade

2. Those must be armv7 apps. Try seeing if Nova Launcher shows up

[Blade General] Amirthanand:
Yes tht one works..But wat about the armv7 apps??

Why am i not able to install them ??
[Blade General] ast9011:
Coz zte blade has armv6 processor

[HTC One S] JN3141:
I seem to have somehow messed up my HTC One S's radio while S-off'ing my phone: its now stuck on EDGE. I followed all the steps exactly, but after completing everything, I noticed that my phone wouldn't connect to 3G/UMTS anymore. I know that it isn't a hardware problem as it can occasionally latch onto a 3G signal, but everytime it did, it would have full bars, then the strength would change to 0 dBm and 99 asu, where it would then proceed to switch over to EDGE and signal strength would return to normal.

So I ended up reflashing my ROM, relocking my bootloader, RUU-ing my phone, S-on'ing my phone, trying multiple different RUUs... and nothing works.

Also, there's nothing wrong with my network, as my brother with a separate phone on the same network has no problems. I've even tried his SIM card, but that also gets placed only on EDGE.

Does anyone have any insight on what is wrong with my phone? :confused:

Edit: attached the logcat to the OP, and this is when I put my phone on 3G only mode: connects to UMTS:3, however cannot get a data connection, then disconnects and loses the signal.
[HTC One S] brandontamas:
Yea i had this problem to with cm 10.1 aamd did everything trying to fix and yesterday i flashed pacman room and 3g and 4g works. You can try flashing that Rom.

[HTC One S] JN3141:
Thanks for the reply, I've just tried it your suggesting, but unfortunately it's still not working :(

I guess I'll just leave my phone to run by itself for a while, and hope that it 'clicks' and 3G comes back like what the person in the other thread said happened for him/her.
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
You check to see if your provider is doing maintenence or if there is an outage?
[HTC One S] JN3141:
My brother is on the same network, but he has full 3G signal on his phone, so there definitely is no outage.
[HTC One S] Opentang:
Are you sure you haven't toggled the network data off under the quick settings panel?

Regards,

Opentang
[HTC One S] JN3141:
I'm not quite sure how if data is enabled or not would affect it, as my phone can't even connect to the 3G network. It can, however, get data on the 2G network.

Tapatalked from my HTC One S running CM10
[HTC One S] JN3141:
I have just been able to get around to a computer, and have grabbed a logcat of what happens when I switch my phone to 3G only mode and it just disconnects itself from the network (i.e. goes into UNKNOWN:0 mode)

If anyone could look through it and see what could possibly be wrong with my phone, it would be highly appreciated.

The main error I can see myself is the:

[main] qcril_qmi_voice_nas_control_convert_radio_tech_to_radio_tech_family: invalid radio tech = 0

But then I'm not exactly literate at logcat.

Thank you in advance to anyone who could at least look through it and help me out at least a little bit here. (Yes, it's a .rar file as the file size exceeded the upload size limit)
[HTC One S] dc211:
Have you tried to flash a new radio?
[HTC One S] JN3141:
Tried using the radio installer in the Development section: it changes the radio but doesn't fix the problem. Unless someone has a radio.img and some instructions on how to flash it?

Edit: okay, managed to grab a radio.img from the Sense Radio Installer. But I can't install it through fastboot flash radio radio.img even when I'm s-off'd. But a quick question on this: would flashing the radio like this affect CM?
[HTC One S] dc211:
Wow you got a interesting problem. You shouldn't have a problem using fastboot to flash a radio. What error does it give you?

It may or may not effect your phone if you're using CM10. Hardware wise the phone uses the radio installed to it. Software wise in CM10 it doesn't so there can be an effect. But since you've done several RUU's and I assume it still not working on the stock sense rom you can rule that out.

The cover on the bottom of the phone is where the cell antenna's are any chance you dropped your phone or the bottom took an impact?

Dial *#*#4636#*#* and select phone info. Then scroll down a little bit so we can't see your phone number & imei and take a screen shot. Post that here and let's see what it says. Try to take one with WCDMA preferred and WCDMA only.

Also, can you tell us what country and phone provider you have? Have you checked with your provider to see if there are any issues with your account? Did you buy the phone second hand (ebay or from someone else) or from a cell phone store?
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Lol, wtf are you telling him to post his phone number and imei for?

[HTC One S] JN3141:
The error I get when I try to flash the radio is:

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

However, when I flash an RUU, the radio version does change, so I'm not sure what's going on there. :confused:

As for the screenshots, the first pic is the WCDMA preferred, the second is the WCDMA only, where it has the inital connection to the 3G network, and the third and last one is after it errors out on WCDMA only (gives unknown).

I bought this phone brand new and imported from overseas from an only cell phone store because the S4 version doesn't exist where I live, so as such claiming warranty isn't exactly going to work, hence I'm seeking help like a madman. My phone can still operate the 3G, as it can connect to the network at all, but then it drops the signal and errors. I'm on amaysim in Australia, which operates off the Optus network over here, but there isn't anything wrong with my account, as my SIM card in my brother's phone can get 3G.

On another note: can you understand what's going on in my logcat? or if not, know anyone who can? It might have some information as to how my phone is stuffing up.
[HTC One S] bluebenno:
I didn't have a detail read of your posts, least look at the logcats. So I'm guessing. I'd put money this is a radio firmware issue. I think if you install this 'RUU' ( radio firmware + config ) it will work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2157841 - some nitty gritty examples on page4.

I had a similar problem after going S-OFF, it triggered a mistake I made some days or weeks earlier messing around with firmware -> no radio at all. I also noticed only 3G on Optus (using an Amaysim ) until I updated my baseband.
[HTC One S] leald:
Did you figure anything else out? Because I am suffering from the same problem unfortunately :/ I've already tried flashing different firmware and radios :(
[HTC One S] JN3141:
Well, I tried your suggestion, using the codf4ther's method, outlined here:

But unfortunately it didn't work: it's still stuck on EDGE, although if I put it on 3G only, it can hang onto the UMTS:3 status (sometimes) for a little while, although it's 'Out of Service,' but then it would go become UNKNOWN:0. I'm guessing this method is similar to flashing a radio through an RUU (?), but considering that an RUU didn't work... yeah...

So we're in the same boat then. And unfortunately no, haven't gotten anywhere; we seem to have gotten a very bad stroke of luck.
[HTC One S] leald:
Well this is kind of annoying...

:/
[HTC One S] mohzim:
I am not sure if this is relevant but I had pretty much same behavior after 4.0.4 Update .. the phone showed 3g for a while but defaults back to Edge connection .... I do not have a solution yet.... :eek:
[HTC One S] ShortyRail:
Hey guys,

I believe I have exactly the same problem. My phone randomly disconnects from mobile data on wcdma only & gsm / wcdma auto. Apparently only GSM only is working properly. I'm not using a custom RUU.

I'd like to add that the E, H, G, 3G symbols are displayed in the status bar even ater the disconnection occurs. Furthermore it does not display my phone number in settings. I noticed that the likelihood of a disconnect depends on the area (and thus perhaps on the strength of the signal).
[HTC One S] JN3141:
Seems like a slightly different problem to me, mine can't stay connected at all on 3G only, and no 3G or H icons come up cuz it can't get on 3G. However I can get on EDGE data, which is really, really slow. :/

You can say that again :(

[HTC One S] blackhartct:
So you need to

1. Copy mmcblckp20 to your sdcard

2. Boot into fastboot mode.

3. Open ADB Shell

4. Type "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20" without the quotes

5. Wait for it for complete. It takes about 2minutes.

6. Flash the firmware in the following thread. Make sure you flash the right one!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322755

7. Now you need to download the proper RUU for the 2.15 firmware in your region.

8. Run the RUU.

9. Make sure you don't have a SIM card in your phone when it boots for the first time.!!!!

10. Once it fully boots turn it off.

11. Put in your sim and boot up.

12. you should have full 4g service.

Note: I bricked my phone again and re did this to make sure it works.
[HTC One S] billydroid:
this didn't work. Hopefully i'm doing something wrong.

You're saying to ADB shell from fastboot mode? Is that possible?

Pushing to system requires root. Are you rooted?

When i push to system it take like seconds, your saying mins. I had to flash reecovery and root in order to do these things.
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
Did i say anything about pushing to the system?

you are pushing the to the radio partition. when you are in fastboot mode you will automatically be in root adb shell.

The point is to do this in fastboot mode to minimize errors since your phone doesn't use the real radio partition if it is on JB and booted.
[HTC One S] billydroid:
i mis-spoke.

I thought you couldn't adb shell in fastboot mode? When i adb shell or adb devices in fastboot mode it doesn't see my phone.
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
In step 4: ADB SHELL error: device not found

In step 6. Flash only firmware or flah firmware + kernel ?
[HTC One S] billydroid:
Has anyone besides BLACKHARTCT got this to work?
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
error adb shell :rolleyes: so i don't know this work or not ?
[HTC One S] Rafek Rafat:
first, i am s-off and cid 1111111 . will i s-on and stock my cid ????

second , i cant find RUU firmware 2.15 i am t-mobile !
[HTC One S] billydroid:
He means hboot 2.15 which is tmo ruu 3.14. As far as s-off and Cid. It shouldn't matter, you might want to change the Cid back to tmo. I haven't got this to work so I really dont know.
[HTC One S] billydroid:
Holy ****!! I got it working! Thus it is proved this is not hardware related. It just got borked from a bad flash.

I tried following the previously stated steps with no success. This is how i did it.

This was all done without my SIM card in.

im S-off with a tmo cid and im in the USA so just make sure your flashing the appropriate stuff for your region.

First i used the 3.14 Tmo Ruu.exe (returning to stock sense jb)

then flashed the latest twrp recovery for the ville (s4)

Moved the mmcblk0p20 over to the root of my sdcard (i actually pulled this file from make fathers already working device)

Rebooted into twrp (custom recovery)

I ran the adb shell and issued the command "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20". But for good measure.While i was in adb shell i also issued "cp /sdcard/mmcblk0p20 /dev/block/"

Then rebooted in fastmode mode.

Then once there issue "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

Then "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" ( Region Specific)

Then "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

Then from Hboot menu booted back in twrp (custom recovery)

Wiped my internal memory (this was per the instructions of the original thread w/ this fix)

rebooted system, let it fully boot and sit for a few mins

powered down and put my SIm back in and rebooted

Now i have full working 4G service

Im not sure if all the stuff i did was necessary, some was redundant, but it works. So whatever.
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
Help me plz, I copy mmcblk0p20 into Internal Storage but can't open in adb shell :(
[HTC One S] billydroid:
Are you in recovery when you try and access 'adb shell'?
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
Yah, i follow exact your solution. But it didn't work for me :(

U did it when s-off or s-on ? What ROM, are u using before do it ?

Should run ROM RUU SHIP after flash firmware and wipe or not ?
[HTC One S] Rafek Rafat:
see if your sdcard mounted or not ... i have same problem i found that when i connect it to pc it dont read sdcard
[HTC One S] billydroid:
I posted every single thing I did. I'm s-off w/ tmo cid

The first thing i did was flash tmobile 3.14 RUU.exe
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
We did the. Same thing. If you are getting errors pushing the files you have driver issues.
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
Thanks alot. My fone is working 4G now. Can't tell u how i fell.... so much happy :victory::victory::victory:
[HTC One S] billydroid:
Awesome. Its a great feeling. Thanks to BLACKHARTCT for figuring this out.

I'm afraid to flash anything else. Don't want to Bork it again.
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
Yea i don't recommend flashing anything after fixing this. When I get some time I'll try unlocking and s-offing it agian. And possibly flashing some newer roms
[HTC One S] atown706:
did you adb push the file to the sdcard before you adb shell'ed?
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
I completed it. Now my fone is working 4g :silly: and i'm using Magio ROM after fix it :cool:
[HTC One S] atown706:
i want to do mine too, but the RUU 3.14 wont download for some reason from androidruu.com. Glad you could get your 4G back. It sucks being on 2G with a 4G phone haha.
